Locals say the woman, who wears a pink headscarf, approaches people regardless of age, including school students, and requests cash or bank transfers. A resident posting under the name Mysara_m shared two photos in a thread and urged others to ignore the requests. “Beware of the pink-hijab woman lurking to ‘paw’ everyone,” the post said. “She asks for RM10; if no cash, she’ll accept a transfer. Top scammer—please ignore.”
The thread drew dozens of replies from residents who described similar encounters. One commenter, Sarahomebasedbakery, said, “She’s everywhere and makes me uncomfortable.
I wonder if she’s even from here.” Another, Ayrishgallery, wrote, “Even schoolchildren are targeted—I saw my daughter’s WhatsApp status where a friend posted a video of her being ‘pawed’ by this woman.” A third, Dinanajihah, claimed the woman made RM40 within 30 minutes during one encounter and continued asking others for money after receiving payments.
Police in Selangor have not confirmed the reports.
